My second fic… anyway, it was the longer plot bunny, and it's a multi chapter.
So far, I'm doing this off the top of my head, since I rarely write things down… I store it in my over-crammed head for the most part…I DON'T OWN NARUTO!
On to the fic? I think I'll do that…

"Ahhhh! It hurts!" Naruto yells, slumping down to the ground.
"Naruto, shut the hell up!" Sakura screams, bending down next to Naruto, looking apologeticly at him.
"You need to rest, if you don't, the damage may be to great for you to pass!" Sakura points out to him.
Naruto winces. "I know, but it's so hard to sleep with this pain!"
"I know, but, if I could get past it, I know you can!" Sakura tells him.
"R-really, Sakura-chan?" Naruto sniffs.
Sakura sighs. "Maybe, all I know is that if you keep screaming in agony, then I'm going to kick your ass!"
"But, I am in agony!" Naruto whines.
"No, you aren't, you're just playing it up." Sakura argues.
"I'm not playing it up… I really am in pain! I HATE filling out evaluations!" Naruto replies, waving his evaluation paper about.
"Ugh, Naruto…How many nights have you skipped out on, just to finish your evaluation paper on time?" Sakura asks.
Naruto 'thinks' for a second, then replies, "Five… But, it's a really long paper, Sakura!"
"Naruto… if you filled it out when you got it, you wouldn't have to worry about it." Sakura scolds.
"But… I bet a lot of other people have done it too… Shikamaru, Chouji, and Kiba did, I bet…" Naruto grins.
"Shikamaru did his 2 weeks ago." Naruto dead pans.
"Then Chouji and Kiba." Naruto regains his confidence.
"I doubt-" Sakura begins.
"Nope!" Naruto says happily, "Chouji didn't have time between his eating and training with Asuma."
"Then, Kiba probably-"
"Wrong. Kiba even told me last weekend that he hasn't started yet… If he got the same evaluation papers as everybody else, then, he'll be doing his tonight, as well." Naruto smirks.
Sakura stands, agape, staring at Naruto, who yawns.
"The physical evaluation is tomorrow… It's four in the morning Naruto… How are you going to do physical evaluations?" Sakura questions.
"Sleep the entire day." Naruto stifles another yawn.
"Yeah, right. Kakashi wants to train us today." Naruto's tired eyes pop open.
"Shit!"
Sakura groans. "I'll fill out the rest for you, Naruto, I know you well enough."
"Nah, I got it… It's good to know, though, that Chouji and Kiba are in the same boat I am…" Naruto nods, his eyelids closing on his vision.
"It's Halloween…" Naruto says sleepily.
"That's right, Naruto… A few months after the physical exams…" Sakura answers, correcting him.
"That's good… Coffee doesn't work, does it? I drank a whole pot… I had to pee a while before you got here… I didn't think I'd ever stop." Naruto mumbles.
"That's good to know, Naruto." Sakura responds, slidding the papers out from under Naruto's arms.
"I drank… a double shot expresso, before the coffee… That…should've worked… But, I have to pee again…" Naruto mummers.
"Don't worry Naruto… That's just the side effects, you aren't going to pee yourself." Sakura soothes.
"What side effects?" Naruto asks.
"None…"Sakura replies, taking Naruto's evaluation papers.
"Hey… I need… those." Naruto says, falling asleep.

"Damn it." Kiba growls, his eyes narrowed at his paper.
"You should've gotten it done earlier, Kiba." Shino states solemnly.
"Shut the hell up, Shino." Kiba replies sourly. He could tell, behind his shades and huge coat, Shino was fighting down a laugh.
"K-Kiba-kun… You should've started it at least a week ago." Hinata says, softly. Her stuttering problem much improved for the better.
"Ahh,I know, can't help but procrastinate, though…It's in my soul…" Kiba smiles slightly at Hinata's concern.
"Geez, I'm never going to listen to Naruto again… That coffee just made me pee a lot." Kiba scowls.
"It's bitter…" Kiba adds.
"I had some, once. Neji-nii-san gave it to me… It was bitter." Hinata agrees.
"I like it… Black." Shino grins under his flipped up collar as Kiba and Hinata shudder.
"I hate evaluation papers." Kiba groans.
He smoothes out the papers, as if apologizing.
"Kiba…maybe you should… sleep?" Hinata asks.
"Can't, too much to finish." Kiba says, scribbling answers down on his paper feverously.
Hinata leans down over Kiba's shoulder.
"I-I think that's wrong, Kiba, unless you really are feeling separated from the rest of the team." Hinata points out.
"I didn't answer yes there…" Kiba looks at his answer.
"Damn." Kiba curses, erasing the answer, and filling in a different answer.
Hinata flinches, watching Kiba right his next answer.
Shino, also watching, shakes his head as Kiba fills in the next bubble ( XD, yes, it's a multiple choice, but, whatever you write goes for you and counts towards your evaluation).
"Kiba…?" Hinata asks. Kiba doesn't answer, continuing to fill in answers at an impossible speed.
"Kiba…?" Hinata repeats. When no response comes, she pokes him slightly hard in the shoulder.
"What?"
"You don't have confidence in your team?" Hinata asks, pointing her finger to the question.
"Yeah, I do… I could've sworn I wrote that I did." Kiba answers, eraseing the filled in answer, and filling in the correct one.
"He's going to destroy the complete sentence answers… He can't do the essay questions." Shino whispers to Hinata. She nods.
"Why don't you rest? You've stayed up every night this week." Hinata urges.
"Nah, can't do that." Kiba waves the idea away.
"Why don't you let us fill it out for you?" Hinata suggests.
"Er…No thanks. I mean, that's good of you, Hinata, but, you shouldn't suffer for my sake, neither should Shino. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind Shino doing it, because he's been an ass, but, no." Kiba dismisses the suggestion.
'I haven't been an ass, you're just an irritable bastard right now.' Shino sighs. 'If only somebody could know what I'm thinking all the time.'
Shino looks at Kiba's back critically, then, turns his gaze to Hinata.
Hinata frowns, but nods in response.
"S-sorry, Kiba, but… you've been an… a-a-ass." Hinata stammers.
Kiba's head turns so fast, Hinata feared it would twist off.
"W-What? Hinata? Did you say that?"
" Sorry Kiba." Hinata closes her eyes, the hand seals already finished, the chakra molded.
"Jyuuken, 64 strike." Hinata says in her quiet voice.
"Hinata?" Hinata's eyes narrow in concentration.
"Oofh!" Kiba grunts as Hinata's small but strong hands strike him over and over again.
Hinata stops, panting.
"Good job, Hinata. At least he was more tired than he let on… or he would've been severely pissed off at us both." Hinata smiles. Kiba slumps down in his chair, Akamaru barks, and Hinata picks him up.
"You'll have to use Byukagan while I write to make sure I don't slip up on faking Kiba's writing. Hinata nods, looking apologetically at Kiba.

"Chouji, damn it… you should've done it earlier." Shikamaru yawns.
"Yeah, Chouji, you could've done it earlier…" Ino adds.
"I didn't have the time! Asuma-sensei was training me!" Chouji argues.
Ino raises an eyebrow.
"And eating." Shikamaru finishes.
Chouji flushes.
"That too." Chouji agrees.
"Then you should've done the evaluation in your spare time instead of eating, then, you could be…" Ino trails off with a look from Shikamaru.
"Then you could be hungry." Ino says.
"That makes no sense, Ino, I like to be comfortably full." (Don't you HATE it when you're uncomfortably full?) Chouji responds, eying her.
"I wasn't finshed. I was going to say, before you so rudely interrupted, then you could be hungry-"
"You already said that." Chouji points out, writing something down and throwing some more potato chips down his throat.
"I know, you interrupted, AGAIN. What I was going to say was 'Then you could be hungry, then, when you got done with the paper, we could go get some Korean Barbeque.'" Ino finishes.
"Oh." Chouji says absently, writing down an answer.
Ino's eye twitches.
"You like Korean BBQ, don't you, Chouji?" Ino asks.
"Yeah, sure…" Chouji answers, paying no attention at all.
"Chouji, you're going to pay for that." Ino says.
"Yes." Chouji shrugs.
"Chouji, Ino's going to kill you." Shikamaru says lazily.
"Who cares? If I don't get this done tomorrow, Tsunade'll kill me worse." Chouji replies, barely listening.
"WHAT?!" Ino shrieks.
"I warned you, man." Shikamaru sighs.
Ino delivers a punch to Chouji's head.
"Ow, what was that for?" Chouji whimpers.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Ino screams.
"Uh, Ino, you're gonna wake up everyone in the building." Shikamaru groans.
Ino growls.
"And that's just fine!" Shikamaru forces out.
Ino nods in approval and turns back to Chouji. Shikamaru gulps at how close he came to death.
"I don't know what it was for, that's why I asked you!" Chouji whines.
Ino snarls scarily.
"Whaaat?" Chouji asks, stretching out the 'what.'
"Ino, you're scaring him-"
Ino, once again, turns towards Shikamaru with terror shining through her face.
"And me too… continue." Shikamaru gestures towards Chouji, who, once Ino turns to, gives Shikamaru a scandalized look.
"Just let us do the papers, Chouji." Shikamaru mummers.
"That coffee Naruto gave me makes me fart." Chouji threatens Ino.
"Stay back!" He yells as Ino advances on him.
"We'll do the papers, just, stop threatening us with smells… Kiba is the only one who'd really have anything to worry about." Shikamaru says.
"No! You'll see! Don't underestimate the power off what coffee does to a person's ass! You don't know!" Chouji screams deliriously.
"Come on, Chouji, just give us the papers and go to bed. We'll do the papers. You don't have to worry about anything, well, except Ino killing you in your sleep, but, I'll make sure she doesn't!" Shikamaru throws his hands up, showing his good intensions.
"Nevah!" Chouji shouts, hyped up on coffee, and leaps from his seat.
"Sorry, then, Chouji." Shikamaru says, forming the Shadow Mane hand seals.
Shikamaru sighs, and his shadow shoots out, catching Chouji's shadow, immobilizing him.
"Ino, do mind switch." Ino grins evilly.
"Happy to." Ino forms the seals. Chouji whimpers.
Ino's body goes limp, then, all of a sudden, 'Chouji' starts banging his head into the wall, until he goes limp.
Ino's body jolts to life, her hands shoot to her head.
"Owwwwch." Ino says, clutching her forehead.
"I have a massive headache."
"I brought aspirin, extra strength… I knew I'd need it… Or, at least, someone would." Shikamaru comes to the rescue, whipping out a jumbo bottle of aspirin.
"Do you always have that?" Ino asks.
"Yeah, because you're always giving me headaches."
Ino scowls at Shikamaru, but, refrains from punching his face in, much to the relief of Shikamaru, because of the pain in her head.
Here's chapter one…Not really a cliffie…Just a good stopping point… Read and review!
